Conference Seminary.
Rev. DR.. A. J. LYDIA, Of Charleston,
formerly for number Of years resident
OF this city, arrived here yesterday and
registered at the S!amm House. At the
last meeting Of the West Virginia Confer.
ence Of the NJ. E. Church, and after 1t had
been finally decided to estsblish and
maintain Conference Seminary at Buck.
hannon, Rev. Dr.. LYDIA was chosen to fill
the position Of financial agent. Since then
he has been baHily engaged in working
for the Seminary. He ia here at this
time on that business and proposes to re-.
main for two or three weeks soliciting as
aietance for the new Institution. This is
the first vlsit to this section OF tho State
on such an errand, and he is greatly en-
couraged over the outlook. Several good
subscriptions were made and promised in
the short timo he spent circulating around
yesterday, being secured without any
effort scarcely on his part. He was about
among his friends yesterday mora for the
purpose Of renewing old acquaintances
than for aoliciting aid for the aeminary.
DR.. LYDIA has been about in the lower
part Of the State considerably OF late and
hes had good success in securing subscrip.
tions. Up to date abou. $l7 900 has been
given to the institution. The site for the
Seminary at Buckhannon is esid to be
admirably located. Men are eugsged this
winter quarrying stone Tor the founda.
tions. No plan for building has yet been
selected by the commiste having the mat.
ter in charge, but they will attend to that
in time to have the building commenced
early in the spring. The building will
probably cost about S25.O0O, and
this, 1t ID thought, will be commodious
enough to suftics for a number OF years ia
come. II Is hoped to have the building
ready for occupancy early in the fall, &c
that students can be received for regular
fall term. As yet no faculty has been
chosen, although there has been re sived
q large number Of applications. DR.. Lydia
is quite enthusiastic over the prospeo,s
and predicts glorious luture for the ihsti.
